Good product, but doesn't hold that much, I was recycling my medication blister packs, unfortunately I won't do this again, as I feel we shouldn't have to pay to recycle
Ideal solution for recycling medical blister packs that would otherwise go to landfill
It’s great that I can recycle my medicine blister packs, I have started my 2nd bag now, thank you
Excellent experience - returned several years worth of CC cheese wrappers in one medium sized bag. Follow up confirming receipt and recycling was welcome. Highly recommended. We estimated that we payed around 5p per block of cheese to guarantee recycling as against likely landfill.
I am so pleased to find a way to recyle the plastic vials that medicated and some soothing preservative free eye drops come in. We get through 5 or 6 a day in this house! My only slight concern is the cost, but it will take us months to fill in even the small bag so it is worth it.

Great service, fast delivery and collection on return.
I’m now guilt free thinking of what my medicine blister packs will be in their next life ♻️ Thank you Zero Waste!
Thank you for trusting us with your blister packs! We’re so glad the service was quick and easy. Together we’re keeping waste out of landfill, your support means a lot!
Delighted to be able to recycle these as I cannot do this locally and I don’t want them to end up in landfill. Process is super straightforward too.
I'm so happy with this purchase. I'm a teacher and am using this bag to recycle old stationery in my classroom. I feel so much better knowing all that waste will be recycled rather than discarded, it is well worth the money in my opinion (and a medium sized bag fits so much!)
These bags are good to use. I bit expensive, but they hold a lot of recycling items. Pleased with my purchase.
Such a fantastic idea and so easy to use.. it was so frustrating to not be able to recycle all the medicine wrappers we have and this is an important and reasonable way to resolve this

It's very good, thanks. Still plenty of space in it!
It’s so easy to order the Zero Waste bag, and even easier to return it once full.
I think it’s a great idea that you can order the bag(s) and then choose what item you’re wanting to recycle from the list provided.
I would certainly encourage everyone to take part and reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfill, and help protect our planet!!
I’m so pleased to come across this Zero Wadte bag.
Whilst its on the expensive side for many people, the price does compensate for the robustness of this environmental service that is much needed across our communities.
Working closely in partnerships with local authorities, schools and faith groups will be a massive, positive step forward.
Have posted 4 bags in total. 2 more on the go & waiting to be filled & sent off.
I ordered a large bag and it has a fantastic large capacity, really quick delivery. Haven’t had to return it yet but it appears to be easy to send back, just glad the medicine blister packs can be recycled through this scheme.
